My 13-year-old son is having ear pain, and he mentioned it hurts when he tilts his head down and up. I had to visit a chemist last night, and they gave him diclogem. I'm really concerned and unsure of what steps to take next. Could you please advise on what might be causing the pain and if this medication is appropriate for his age?

Throat pain while swallowing can be concerning.

Homeopathic remedies that may help:

  • Belladonna (for sudden, severe pain)
  • Lachesis (for pain on swallowing, especially liquids)
  • Phytolacca (for painful swallowing, with swollen tonsils)
  • Merc Sol (for throat pain with excessive saliva)

Consult a homeopathic doctor for personalized guidance and proper dosage.

Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with blocked ears and sharp shooting pain for about a month now. There have been times I hear sounds in my ear too. Steaming has helped open up my left ear, but my right ear still feels blocked and painful sometimes. I tried using soliwax, but it just made my ears ring. My hearing seems fine, though. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I'm really looking for some guidance.

My 6-year-old daughter has had enlarged adenoids for the last 4 years, and we really want to avoid surgery. We've seen multiple doctors in Bangalore, but nothing has helped. She constantly has a runny nose and breathes through her mouth. We take extreme care she only eats homemade food, drinks warm water, avoids milk and curd, and can't even play outside or wash hands with normal tap water. Her immunity seems very weak, and she struggles with basic things like taking a head bath without staying indoors the whole day. It's heartbreaking to see her like this. Is there any way to improve her condition without surgery? How can we strengthen her immunity and help her live a normal life?
